Summer Events in Seattle

Seattle summers are unbeatable. If you’re a local, or have ever lived in the Seattle area, you know what we mean. The beautiful weather between mid June and late September make the extra grey winter months worthwhile. Because of this, we try to pack in as many local events and activities as we can into our summer schedules. The options are endless, but we’ve rounded up a few of our favorites.

Capitol Hill Block Party

During this weekend the streets in the heart of Capitol Hill are closed off to be filled with pop-up music venues, food trucks and beer gardens. It’s a guaranteed good time. (Also the line up is amazing this year.)

Spend an evening painting and sipping on wine, all while supporting the amazing cause Dress for Success. We’re signed up for an evening in a few weeks and are so excited to make a girls’ night of it.

Movies at the Park

Outdoor movies are such a summer treat. They remind me of summer nights during my childhood, curling up in sweatshirts and blankets to watch movies projected on a neighbor’s garage door. There are so many locations in Seattle that show movies all summer long — they’re a great option for last minute evening plans. Pack a blanket and a few things to snack and sip on, and you’re all set.

Seafair Weekend

A longstanding Seattle tradition — Seafair weekend is iconic. It’s during the warmest weekend of the summer, which makes for the perfect day or two spent on the water. There are boat races and performances to watch, plenty of food to eat, and endless sun to soak up.

Bite of Seattle

Every food truck you could ever imagine in one location. It’s truly an amazing experience. After trying a bite of so many unique (and delicious!) dishes, take a break to sip on local beers and enjoy some live music.
